In this video I answer the question, “What vegetables can I plant in February?” with my top 24 choices for vegetables to sow in February. Whether you sow these cool season and warm season vegetables indoors or outdoors depends on when your average last frost date is for your area. I’ll show you how to find your last frost date and how to use it to know when to plant your vegetables.

I love your videos so awesome 😊
Good morning, thank you
I'm so excited and buried in the snow
Hi from Ireland
Question, the calculator shows indoor start and outside start dates, is there a recommended start date between those for a non-heated outdoor greenhouse? Should I just adhere to one or the other?
It's going to be 80 degrees today in Phoenix, our last frost will be 2/12 😊 love your channel
Hello! Here in Oklahoma city, we are getting into spring. I'm gonna start everything indoors soon. I'm going to get more of Ed's hot pepper seeds. I failed 6 yrs ago, but I'm ready to start again.
For zones that have little to no frost simply put the harvested leaves in a freezer on a pan/ tray while wet. After 12 or so hours they should be much sweeter.
February so far has been incredibly hot, I live in South Africa
Negative 11F last night, but I have pulled out my seed packets to look at them. Meanwhile, I have a big collection of Coleus cuttings that are hanging out under grow lights and 3 Datel peppers left over from last summer.
Hello from North Texas we're zone , 9
Love, love your new calculator. So useful! Thanks Brian❤️❤️
Still double digits below zero here in central Alaska 😂😂😂 but I have my potatoes growing inside
Thank you !!
Thank you for that new calculator. I'm in Troy, New York, formerly zone 5B, now I think they are calling it zone 6 but in any case it looks like my last frost date is May 8th. Your calculator even gives me a good estimate of when I can start certain things indoors in preparation for outdoor planting. Awesome.
I use cardboard to germinate carrots. I have near 100% germination consistently.
Thank you for this information. I am in the Mojave desert in Pinon Hills. Have a greenhouse but thinking it gets too cool at night. Can I start them on heat mats and not have to worry about the night time temps if it is closed up???
Do you have a chart with the dates of when we should start our fall gardens? I am in zone 9a. Love your videos 😀
Tried growing tomatoes your way last year, they were too wet, got deceased and died. Went back to my old method, they were a foot and a haft tall and healthy at planting time
Great reminder on when to start our seeds both indoors and outdoors no matter where you live. Thanks
I’m zone 4a & been doing all my brassicas via Winter sowing with gallon size water/milk jugs & had excellent results. Last year with my carrots I covered my seed with vermiculite & had great results as well.
Great video. Thanks. ❤
I'm in SCA as well, but can't grow anything inside my small home, don't have a greenhouse, and have a small yard. I have never had luck growing radishes, carrots or tomatoes… the crops that everyone says are the easiest to grow. 😒 I plant most everything that can be planted in containers in containers first, on my porch, but haven't had luck with those plants at all! … Can it be the seeds? 🤔🤷♀️ I get plenty of germination, but no veggies!
Last frost date? That traditional info is unreliable! Climate is changing, bro! Start early, man. Take a chance and start sooner. Always have a backup plan. We're skipping spring and going into warm season (central Texas). Ya, we might have a late frost but, we can deal with that. I'm putting out toms and peppers NOW!
Here in Central Florida (zone 10a) I am still harvesting fall's tomatoes, green beans and snow peas! By mid Feb it will be back in the 70's and 80's here. My no garden time is full summer – too hot for most things to grow. Love the calculator to help know when to plant as I have a bad habit of sowing too late.
I from Estonia. Here is climate way different. Like yes we need to do same but we need to put things in green house and in may we need even make green house warm because short summer and chilly spring nights. Also with trees we need to cover them up in spring so morning sun does not wake up some trees like peach because at night temperatures drop a lot and different between day and night is so big.
Just harvesting 1 outer leaf from each adult plant each day – and you can have a full house salad for everybody in the house. Minimal time gathering, versus end of season harvesting and wasting product (and tossing to the lambs and cow for eating). And by the way, also doing the same double-triple harvesting of all of the various leaves – provides a maximum nutrition for the lambs and cow (especially in pregnancy) than just bland alfalfa. Diversity is happiness. Lets see how long you would eat only corn flakes cereal and milk for endless days – until your body would rebel for diversity.
Kinda funny. My 15 month old Great Granddaughter loves to come out to the garden and eat fresh peas right off the stalk!!
Zone 7B in Clarksville Tennessee
Thank you. My last frost date is April the 13th in Clarksville Tennessee
Snowing here in Seattle but still started my onions indoors.
